Meretz leader: Security excuse used to justify silencing

Meretz Chairwoman Zahav Gal-On wrote on her Facebook page that "following (Knesset Member) Miri Regev's appeal to the attorney general to try me and the two MKs who addressed the Australian prisoner affair, I would like to suggest that Regev learn about the duty of lawmakers before shouting.

"Miri Regev is using the 'security' excuse to justify silencing and empty incitement. The gag order has nothing to do with a security risk but is aimed at not embarrassing the authorities. Miri Regev understands nothing about democracy." (Ynet)
